The tonal color that Colin chooses for the Nunc is absolutely gorgeous.......(or the organ scholar!)

Lovely to hear this recording, it brings back memories!! The Jongen at the end was magnificent.

I recognise a few faces in that photo!

WTF? Looks like a railroad station platform they're singing (vested!) at!

+choirboyfromhell1 You're absolutely right - Lincoln railway station, to be precise (or so we're told). We wondered if anyone would notice...

[@choirboyfromhell1]

Okay...I'm going to vest up next time I lap heads on an Alco 251.....get the academic hood caught on one of the exhaust strongbacks...

We do know what they were doing! They were singing a work specially commissioned by Philip Marshall for the opening of the newly refurbish central railway station in 1985. There is a radio broadcast by Philip Marshall where he talks about this; which will be uploaded in due course.

It's the Choir under Philip Marshal, in the photo
